December 3, 1971
To the Honorable Mayor
and City Council
Several months ago you referred
to your staff a petition for the im-
provement of Cody Field at the
end of Cody Drive. The land had
been given to the City by the de-
veloper Mr. Dick Henschel.
The field has not been improved
and, consequently, I report to you
on the situation.
1. The field has been inspected
by the staff and it is believed
that the plot should not be
developed because of the slope
of the land and because it
is located close to a school
site.
2. We have met with Mr. Hen-
schel and an arrangement has
been discussed whereby Cody
Fïeld would be exchanged for
other land. We have not yet
selected the exchange pro-
perty.
3. We have talked to the school
superintendent and Mr. Hen-
schel about the use of a por-
tion of the school site as a
play area. Their permission
can be obtained. We could
level and seed a plot for re-
creation purposes.
I will try to complete the pro-
perty arrangements within the
next week or so. I do not expect
that the school site play area can
be improved until next spring.

Honorable Mayor and Council
Members
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission has received your cor-
respondence asking for a review
of the zoning for the Hillcrest
Apartment property located at
John F. Kennedy Road and the
proposed Hillcrest Road. During
the past eight years this entire
West side of our community, and
particularly the areas adjacent to
Kennedy Road, have been viewed,
reviewed, studied and earefully
planned by the Planning and Zon-
ing Commission and City Councils.
The Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion, working for the Councils,
have constantly had this area un-
der review and have given special
attention to overall neighborhood
plans. The City Planning staff and
Commissioners recommended to
the Council the present zoning be-
cause it is consistent with a mas-
ter plan for the area and is also
consistent with good standards for
neighborhood planning. The Coun-
cil, acting in good faith and hon-
esty at a public hearing, then re-
zoned this property only a few
years ago (1968-1969).
Our recommendation came to
you, the Council, after very care-
ful study and with due regard to
the comprehensive plan for the
whole area. Our group has the
added benefit of continuity of long
service by the Commissioners so
that decisions are hased on knowl-
edge of past experiences and his-
tory of the development of com-
plete subdivisions and areas. With
this background, and with an abun-
dance of time spent during the
past two years reviewing the plan-
ning maps to present the City
Council with a new city map, we
are still certain that our previous
judgment was valid and consistent
with the principles of good city
planning.
Each Commissioner states that
he finds a review of the zoning of
this property would serve no pur-
pose at this time and that their
previous recommendation should
be your guide.
Sincerely yours,
CITY PLANNING AND
ZONING COMM1SS10N

P.s. Recently there was an un-

should not serve on the City Board
of Adjustment at the same time
that he serves on the Commission,

This is a very correct appointment
by the City Council and has been I
so in Dubuque for as long as most
older men in City government can
remember. Other communities also
have exercised this same wisdom
and good judgment. The County
Zoning Ordinance requires that
one member of the County Zoning
Commission also serve on the
County Zoning Board of Adjust-
ment. There is no conflict of In-
terest, but, rather, a better com-
munication and service is estab-
lished by one or two members.

December 2, 1971
Hon. Mayor and City Council
You will recall that at the meet-
ing of 15th day of November, 1971
of the City Council of Dubuque,
Iowa, a petition by numerous ob-
jector-petitioners in the area of
Tyler Road petitioned the City
Council for rezoniog of the real
estate commonly described as
"Powers property" from the multi-
ple residence district classification
baek to single family residence dis-
tric classification. The petition was
prompted by the objections of the
property owners 10 question object-
ing to the improvement of a por-
tion of the "Powers property" by a
planned unit development.
Your honorable body referred
that matter to the City Planning
and Zoning Commission.
Thereafter, at a hearing before
the Board of Adjustroent it ap-
peared that the contending parties
had tentatively reached an agree-
ment but it was at the suggestion
of the City Attorney that in order
to protect the interest of the City
that any agreement that they might
make which would be the basis of
the withdrawal of the objections
by the objectors would be pre-
mised that none of the contending
parties for a period of ten years
would petition the City Council for
the opening of Pasadena Avenue to
extend and connect to what is
known as Tyler Stret and has now
been described as Lot 3 of Lot 1 of
Lot 1 of "Powers Place."
It appears to the writer that the
matters in contention among all the
parties hereto have been resolved
to the satisfaction of the Board of
Adjustment of the City of Du-
buque, 10wa.
The City Attorney has assisted in
the preparation of the agreement
for all of the contending parties
to execute and same has been ex-
ecuted and is returned herewith
for recording with the City Clerk
as part of the permanent records
of the City of Dubuque, Iowa, and
I am also enclosing herewith a
letter from Mr. Francis O'Connor
representing all of the objectors
withdrawing objections and peti-
tion for the rezoning of said prop-
erty which was done at the meeting
of November 15, 1971.
Accordingly, it appears that this
matter has been amicably resolved
by the contending parties without
any further involvement of the
City of Dubuque, Iowa, or any of
its agencies.
Respectfulty submitted,
R. N. Russo
City Attorney

WHEREAS, there was filed with

1971, in Book of Plats #35, page
202, a plat known as the Subdivi-
sion of Lot 1 and Lot 2 of the Sub.
of Lot 1 of Lot 1 of "Powers Place"
in the City of Dubuque, Iowa, by
Philip A. Powers and Martha F.
Powers, the owners of such prop-

WHEREAS, upon said plat ap-
pear streets to be known as Hill-
crest Road and Tyler Road, to-
gether with certain public utility
easements which the owners by
said plat dedicated to the public
forever; and the owners wish to
vacate such plat with the consent
of the City of Dubuque, 10wa, be-
fore the sale of any property
therein, pursuant to the provisions
of Section 409.18, Code of Iowa
(1971);
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RE-
SOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Dubuque, Iowa:
Section 1. That the plat known
as the Subdivision of Lot 1 and
Lot 2 of the Sub. of Lot 1 of Lot
1 of "Powers Place" in the City of

a plat of "Powers Place," and sub-
stitute, in its place, an accessway
for pedestrians. Residents of the
area have requested such a change
so that traffic can be minimized
through the residential area in
which they live.
In reviewing the request the
Commission found that Tyler Road
and the proposed extension is clas-
sified as a local street and is in-
tended to serve as access to indi-
vidual properties and not to col-
lect or more large amounts of traf-
fic.
That the connection would most
likely increase traffic substantially
and permit the road to become a
collector street.
That the primary objective in
making the connection on the pro-
posed plat had been to accommo-
date pedestrian access to Hoover
School from "Powers Place."
That pedestrian access could be
accommodated without developing
vehicular access.
In view of its findings the Com-
mission recommends that the new
plat, as referred to, be approved.

Honorable Mayor and
Council Members
The City Planning and Zoning
Commission has reviewed the mat-
ter of including housing as a per-
mitted use in the Central Business
District. Concurrently, a proposal
for a specific housing project for
property at the southwest corner
of Sixth and Locust was consid-
ered. A staff report that was pre-
sented to the Commission on these
two questions is attached.
It has been the opinion of the
Commission that housing can be
an appropriate use 10 the Central
Business District and it has been
provided for. as a part of a planned
unit development, in the proposed
zoning ordinance. It was further
the opinion of the Commission
that the specific site in question
would be one of the appropriate
sites for housing provided that an
acceptable plan is submitted.
The proposal to amend the Ur.
ban Renewal Plan to permit multi-
ple family residences as an addi-
tional use for redevelopment area
5 of the downtown Urban Renewal
Project would be consistent with
507
the findings of the Commission.
